ICYMI: Idris Elba's Daughter Named 2019 Golden Globe Ambassador!

Written by Brooke Sharland

Looks like the Elba family has another reason to celebrate -- Next year, Idris Elba’s daughter, Isan, will be the 2019 Golden Globe Ambassador!

For those of you that may not know, the Golden Globe Ambassador is the person who assists in handing out the Golden Globes when they are presented at the award show, and then escorting the winner off stage. It is selected by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) and is usually the son or daughter of famous Hollywood stars. The position was previously called “Miss Golden Globe” or “Mr Golden Globe”, depending on who was selected, but the name was officially changed to “Golden Globe Ambassador” this past year to make it gender-neutral and more inclusive.

Several others in this position have gone on to become incredible actors and/or Golden Globe winners themselves, including Melanie Griffith (1975), Laura Dern (1982), and Dakota Johnson (2006).

To share the news, Isan took to Instagram to express how excited she was, captioning the picture “I am so elated to announce that I am this year’s Golden Globe Ambassador! I am so honored that the HFPA has chosen me and I look forward to representing the Globes while also shining a light on mental health among African-Americans and teenagers.” Good on you, Isan!
